COMMERCIAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY
Name of New Financial Institution Now in Course of Organization. Local People Interested.
As a result of several meetings held at the residence of J. P. Zeyn, as well as a canvass of the community for subscriptions to stock in the institution, the Commercial Bank and Trust Company was organized this week with a capital stock of $50,000. The moving spirit in the new bank is C. E. Holcomb, who secured the charter for the First National bank three years ago and later severed his connection with it. Mr. Holcomb has since been at Thermal, engaged in the culture of asparagus and melons.
A number of local moneyed men, who for some time past have been persuaded that a fine field offered here for another bank, have of late been in correspondence with him and he arrived last week, stopping over a day in Los Angeles, where he was in conference with the directors of one of the largest financial institutions in that city.

Mr. Holcomb has since been at Thermal, engaged in the culture of asparagus and melons.
A number of local moneyed men, who for some time past have been persuaded that a fine field offered here for another bank, have of late been in correspondence with him and he arrived last week, stopping over a day in Los Angeles, where he was in conference with the directors of one of the largest financial institutions in that city.
Mr. Holcomb arrived in town Tuesday evening of last week. That evening he met with a number of the backers of the new enterprise at a meeting at Mr. Zeyn's residence. Another meeting was held Wednesday evening when a larger attendance was present, among them being some of the leading men of the community.
At these meetings the local banking situation was gone over and a conclusion arrived at that, despite the fact that a new savings bank was being organized, another commercial bank would find a favorable opportunity for doing business here.
Subscriptions to stock were solicited and a sufficient sum was subscribed to insure the organization of the enterprise.
Other meetings were held and at these it was decided to name the new concern the Commercial Bank and Trust Company, with a capital stock of $50,000.
Mr. Holcomb will be cashier of the new concern. For president, the names of several local people have been mentioned.
Mr. Holcomb said Saturday he was gratified beyond measure at the flattering reception he had had at the hands of people who seemed anxious to have another bank here. It was found on that day that the stock had all been subscribed and the application of a Los Angeles capitalist, who desired to invest $25,000 in the bank, had been held up for further consideration.
No site for the new bank has yet been selected, but it may occupy temporary quarters in the new Odd Fellows' block. Several offers for a temporary location have been considered, one of them being in the Deutsch block.

Mr. Holcomb returned to Thermal Sunday.

He is well and favorably known among business circles throughout Orange county, having been in the banking business many years here and at Fullerton. He is an expert accountant as well as level headed man of affairs. That his new bank will prove successful and be a factor in the upbuilding of the community none can doubt.
Associated with local stockholders are a number from Placentia, Buena Park and elsewhere.
Holcomb wrote Tuesday to E. Barr saying that while in Los Angeles Monday he had interviewed O. W. Strodthoff and had been successful in interesting him in the bank. Both will probably be in Anaheim tomorrow or next day when steps will be taken to organize the new financial institution.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1905
GASHOUSE OUTSIDE FRANCHISE LIMITS
Permission Granted by Council for Laying Pipe Connecting Works With Street Mains—Wages of Drivers Reduced
L. E. Miller and B. V. Beebe of the gas company appeared before the city council at its meeting on Tuesday evening, asking for an extension of their privileges as granted by the recently adopted gas franchise. They requested permission to lay pipes upon all streets and alleys in the corporate limits; in other words, to have the area restricted by the franchise expanded so as to cover the entire municipality.
City Attorney Melrose stated, in answer to a question from council, that he was not prepared to say whether under the terms of the franchise the desired extension could be granted without the adoption of a new franchise and ordinance covering the matter. However he inclined to the view that the latter course was necessary.
The matter was after a further dis-

City Attorney Melrose stated, in answer to a question from council, that he was not prepared to say whether under the terms of the franchise the desired extension could be granted without the adoption of a new franchise and ordinance covering the matter. However he inclined to the view that the latter course was necessary.
The matter was after a further discussion referred to the city attorney for investigation and report.
Mr. Beebe at this point arose and stated the object of the petition. It was not, he said, to obtain a monopoly of everything in sight, as might appear upon the surface, but the trouble was here: When the site for the gashouse was changed from the previously selected site on Lemon street to that on Cypress street, the company inadvertently selected a site outside the limits of the franchise. The gashouse has been completed, and now that pipe laying was about to begin the company found itself unable to connect the works with pipe lines. It has no authority to dig trenches in the intervening streets in order to reach its franchise area. Beebe eloquently portrayed the predicament the gas people were in. They were up a stump. They must either move the gashouse, and this necessitated purchase of another site, or they must be granted authority to excavate upon streets not covered by their franchise.
The board considered it was rather a knotty problem to handle. It was of opinion that no legal ground existed for granting a wholesale extension of the limits as prescribed by the franchise. On the other hand if a franchise be advertised for a competing company could not be debarred from coming before council and bidding for it.
After a further discussion permission was granted the gas company to connect its works with pipe lines, also to connect with underground oil tanks across the Santa Fe tracks. In the meantime the city attorney to look up points and authorities.

There was but one man down, but the pop flies that came along later blasted the hopes of the oil boys and there was nothing more to chalk up. The figures:

NOTES
Johnson pitched a wonderful game for a youngster and the way he clipped the Owls' wings at the plate was a distinct feature of the game.
Burnett stopped the run-getting in the eighth by winging in the ball from deep left to third ahead of Lepper who was working overtime on his runaround from first. But for this score would doubtless have had a more top-heavy effect.
The locals were weak in places, having on two new men, who while being clever young players, they did not begin to fill the places of the old stagers.
The Owls are ball players from away back and put up a stiff quality of ball throughout the game. They are rated up among the best of amateurs.
One of the spectacular features of the game was "Bookie's" coaching down around the initial sack and over among the bleachers. When Bookie jumped, stiff-legged into the air and swung his arms and yelled the while, you could see a streak of red for at least a city block.
Bill Kammerer umpired. At times Bill's decisions were wobbly, but the boys had to take the medicine. Bill always tries to give the teams an honest deal.
Elwell has decided to quit the team. Head will play shortstop next Sunday. Young Weber of this city will be given a tryout on third base.
Morrison of Orange will pitch for the Oil Wells next Sunday.
The Hamburgers are scheduled for next Sunday. They are the amateur kingpins. Brush up your batting records a bit, you Olinda boys, and be prepared for a hard tuggle.

There was no goose eggs on hand in inning, when the Owls each of bunts agoing that death knell of the oil men bunted the ball succeed the neatest of fashion, and come home in consequence.

Manager Tom Young stepped out onto the diamond between curtains and motioning the crowd for silence, made a business-like speech upon the financial question that proved a winner. The boys are fifty dollars to the bad, he said, and the contributions have been light, very light, and it is a question of more money or no more baseball in future. Young's clear-cut and forceful oratory moved the assemblage to loosen and a better contribution than usual was taken up when the lid went around. The boys really ought to be better patronized from a financial standpoint, as they are under quite an expense. Personally they get nothing.
Vaudeville and farce comedy combined will be the program at the opera house for two nights, commencing Saturday when the London Vaudeville company make their first bid for patronage before an Anaheim audience. This company is composed of headline vaudeville actors who have played the first class vaudeville houses both in Europe and America. Tickets on sale at McCollum's at 25c and 35c.
Joseph Hatfield has been appointed census marshal by the Anaheim school trustees. Guy L. Duckworth will act in a similar capacity at Loara.
